Patient and public involvement (PPI) is often framed in terms of addressing the democratic deficit in the NHS but in England, since 2000, it has become increasingly aligned with the reform of the NHS to become patient centred by enabling people to exercise choice as a right and responsibility across all aspects of healthcare. Since then, there has been a rapid diversification of approaches to and methods for PPI, which experienced organisational turbulence under the Labour administration. This chapter discusses the evolution of PPI in England before 2010, and it examines the Coalition’s reforms of PPI, and the implications of these reforms.

Signifcant changes were brought about in health and social care in England in 2013, as a result of the Health and Social Care Act 2012. As part of the changes in 2013, a network of local Healthwatch organisations was set up to act as the people’s champion for health and social care in their local area. Healthwatch Shropshire is one of these local Healthwatch. It gathers experiences and opinions from patients, carers, service users and the wider public about publicly funded health and social care services and uses this information to infuence health and social care service delivery. Healthwatch Shropshire also recruits and trains volunteers to support its work, in particular, specially trained volunteers visit locations where health and social care services are provided and report on their fndings. Healthwatch Shropshire also has information and signposting services, provides volunteering opportunities, and has a statutory authority to visit locations where health and social care services are being delivered.Keywords: patient participation, consumer participation, public opinion

Abstract Background Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in health and social care research is increasingly prevalent and is promoted in policy as a means of improving the validity of research. This also applies to people living in prison and using social care services. Whilst evidence for the effectiveness of PPI was limited and reviews of its application in prisons were not found, the infancy of the evidence base and moral and ethical reasons for involvement mean that PPI continues to be advocated in the community and in prisons. Objectives To conduct a review of the literature regarding the involvement of people or persons living in prison (PLiP) in health and social care research focused on: (i) aims; (ii) types of involvement; (iii) evaluations and findings; (iv) barriers and solutions; and (v) feasibility of undertaking a systematic review. Methods A systematic scoping review was undertaken following Arksey and O’Malley’s (International Journal of Social Research Methodology 8: 19-32, 2005) five-stage framework. A comprehensive search was conducted involving ten electronic databases up until December 2020 using patient involvement and context related search terms. A review-specific spreadsheet was created following the PICO formula, and a narrative synthesis approach was taken to answer the research questions. PRISMA guidelines were followed in reporting. Results 39 papers were selected for inclusion in the review. The majority of these took a ‘participatory’ approach to prisoner involvement, which occurred at most stages during the research process except for more ‘higher’ level research operations (funding applications and project management), and only one study was led by PLiPs. Few studies involved an evaluation of the involvement of PLiP, and this was mostly PLiP or researcher reflections without formal or independent analysis, and largely reported a positive impact. Barriers to the involvement of PLiP coalesced around power differences and prison bureaucracy. Conclusion Given the very high risk of bias arising from the available ‘evaluations’, it was not possible to derive firm conclusions about the effectiveness of PLiP involvement in the research process. In addition, given the state of the evidence base, it was felt that a systematic review would not be feasible until more evaluations were undertaken using a range of methodologies to develop the field further.

What does patient and public involvement (PPI) in research mean? The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) defines ‘patient and public’ as patients, potential patients, their carers, people who use health and social care services, and organisations that represent people who use these services. 1 The term ‘involvement’ refers to an active partnership between patients and public and researchers in the research process.
